The Oshawa Harbour played an important role in the settling of our area, and has continued that function as a vital element of the City's growth and economic development today. The Oshawa Port Authority operates the harbour.

Update: Oshawa Harbour Improvements on City Lands are Underway

Under the 2010 Settlement Agreement with the Federal Government and the Oshawa Port Authority, the City is required to redevelop the Marina lands and the West Wharf lands for a municipal public purpose by October 31, 2018.

In order for the City to redevelop and open the lands to the public for passive recreational use, some preliminary work needs to occur. The City will begin clean-up by removing the former yacht club and removing debris. Also, the City's contractors will remove the existing pedestrian bridge that crosses the Oshawa Creek and then install a new pedestrian bridge.

As part of the environmental work approved by the Provincial Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, new top soil will be delivered to provide an appropriate capping of the lands.

In 2017, the currently fenced area located east of Simcoe Street South and south of Harbour Road will be closed to the public during the construction period. The lots that were used for special event parking within this area will also remain closed.
